San Diego beginner and advanced mountain biking trail review Los Penasquitos North, Del Mar Mesa

[@se11459]

Just watched a few of your vids, great stuff! Good speed and flow also. You come across like the Stephen Colbert of mountain biking. 😂

Haha, cool, glad you liked them. You just earned a pin my friend. 😆

Saturday, a friend and I were coming from the 56 bike path, heading back towards del Mar mesa, and thought we were connecting the "hurry home" trail and going to hit the switchbacks trail and everything in your video here. But I took a wrong turn and ended up going towards the lower section of bowtie ridge trail, going in the proper direction. Strava says we did "tunnels 5" somewhere in that mistaken turn to bowtie. Anyway, seems like there are unofficial trails that perhaps don't get put on trailforks, but still exist, and don't have signage to tell you to stop.

Cool. Yes, a lot of trails are off limits. They were marked at one time, but people have ripped down or painted over them.

[@VeeVeeArcher]

That's a shame signs get taken down. Another possible name for the wrong turn trail is "rusty scissors tunnel trail". Anyway, I disliked it. Lesson learned.​@@bikeempowerment

Yeah, some people aren’t happy that some of the trails are closed. I try to obey the closed trails. Sometimes I think I’m too much of a goody goody. But mostly I think it’s my way to respect nature. 🤷‍♂️
